MOTOGP » Kevin Schwantz 'told to leave' Austin MotoGP test

It's not exactly positive PR to kick a former world champion off the premises of your racetrack. I am aware of the lawsuit, but CotA are a bit of an ass. Having dealt with one of their sales directors, I can definitely say they are arrogant beyond belief. I'll never cast a shadow upon CotA, the track.

MOTOGP » Kevin Schwantz 'told to leave' Austin MotoGP test

The more I hear of COTA the more I dislike it. Last year I inquired about spectator motorhome parking for the F1 event. $15,000 per year. That's pure, unadulterated greed and arrogance. Here's one American that will never attend any COTA event. Here's hoping Laguna Seca honors Schwantz at the Moto GP event held there.

F1 » Lotus flowers in Albert Park with Raikkonen victory

If Lotus can keep pace with the development of Red Bull and Ferrari, Kimi has a real shot at becoming a two time WDC. Kimi has the consistency of Alonso and the speed of Hamilton. The car, Lotus, is the only questionable ingredient. ,

F1 » Heavy rain forces qualifying postponement

I always thought F1 was run in all weather conditions. Rain or shine. Other than monsoon like conditions, I don't recall qualifying or racing called because of rain. Rain will and does alter qualifying results, as well as race results. If the stewards were trying to eliminate the natural order of things, then they are wrong. If I want to watch contrived race results, then I'll start watching NASCAR. As for it being unsafe to run qualifying, driving to conditions will alleviate the safety concerns.

F1 » Hamilton: I want to be seen as a great

If ego were speed, Hamilton would be unbeatable.

F1 » Hamilton: I want to be seen as a great

If greatness is determined by ego, Hamilton is already a great one. I was excited when Hamilton came to F1. His first year performance was nothing less than breathtaking. His comments and actions since have left me no doubt, he's a spoiled brat who never grew up. It takes a lot more than talent in the cockpit to become a great. And Hamilton is severely lacking.

F1 » Vettel admits tyres made testing inconclusive

If the new Pirellis are so different than last year's tire, maybe there will be a need for more emphasis on mechanical grip rather than aero. If so, this could be a game changer for the order of F1. Newey is an aeronautical genius, for sure. If the emphasis favors mechanical grip rather than aero grip, we may see a new F1 engineering "genius" emerge.

F1 » Rosberg keeps Mercedes top as testing ends

Maybe Mercedes has found the answer this year. It would be great to see them challenge Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren for the championship. As for a Rosberg/Hamilton matchup, I would predict Rosberg is every bit up to the challenge. Shaping up to be a very interesting season.
